Packaging Top Themes
The main themes shaping the packaging industry over the next 12 to 24 months are advanced materials, COVID-19, online food delivery, e-commerce, health & wellness, direct-to-consumer, ESG, demographics, robotics, and AI.
Online Food Delivery: Online food delivery encompasses new trends in ordering food ingredients or prepared meals, from retail sites or foodservice providers via the internet. This has implications for the food market in general by making the purchasing process more convenient and varied for consumers. However, online food delivery poses a threat to ready meal products that are stocked in supermarkets.
The rise of online food delivery has forced greater attention on packaging and waste. Hence, foodservice operators must consider partnering with B2B packaging providers that offer reusable alternatives. Furthermore, Quick-commerce or ‘Q-commerce’ has developed as an on-demand delivery channel for small quantities of goods with a waiting time of less than an hour. The growth of this model demonstrates that convenience has become a valued commodity for time-poor consumers, with many willing to pay higher prices for on-demand service as the next level of the customer experience.
E-commerce: An increased reliance on e-commerce means that brands can track consumer behavior and receive feedback in real-time, and therefore be more responsive. Brands and retailers must consider effective packaging methods while maintaining user experiences to benefit all demographics beyond digital natives. Furthermore, Social commerce (S-Commerce) has boomed in popularity in recent years fueled by the pandemic and the social isolation of lockdown measures. The combination of social media networks and e-commerce has fused online shopping into one frictionless experience. In turn, key opinion leaders and influencers have emerged as useful tools for product promotion. Additionally, social media now serves as an important marketing platform across the consumer goods industry. Popular packaging can capitalize on hashtags, shared, and viral content to further reach and brand consciousness.
ESG: Packaging companies that fail to adopt ESG standards will see an exodus of customers moving to more sustainable providers, and a drop in profits far sooner than imagined. Hence, they must deploy comprehensive sustainability plans beyond ESG targets. Demonstrating that a company has a detailed action plan to address ESG risks is crucial to winning shareholder approval and ensuring they remain profitable long into the future. For this purpose, many packaging suppliers are looking to acquire companies that are compatible with the circular economy to avoid falling behind competitors.
